Some mole over in Justin Bieber's camp say that the B33bz is pissing off his record label and his assorted grown-up servants by being a lazy, ungrateful little stoner, just like—wait for it—an eighteen-year-old boy. Truly shocking. My monocle just fell plumb off my face.

"He smokes weed all day, from the time he gets up, and orders everybody around. He's surrounded by hangers-on who say ‘yes' to anything he wants. There's no supervision."

Speculation is that Bieber's rebelling partly due to the anxiety and angst that's resulted from his family constantly hitting him up for money, or due to his fraught relationship with Selena Gomez. The source ominously name-checks Britney Spears as an example of reckless tween-pop-sensation behavior, and says: "This could really damage his reputation if they don't get it under control.

QT has something to say to them. "I think it's kind of ridiculous, because no one can actually say with a straight face that we use the word more than it was used in 1858 in Mississippi. So since they can't say that, what they're basically [saying] is I should lie. I should pretty it up. I should lie, and I don't lie when it comes to my characters and the stories I tell." [MTV]

There is no better way to deal with reporters' parenting questions than cheeky sarcasm, as proven by new mom Claire Danes: "I can't begin to imagine what kind of mother I want to be. How could I answer that? I want to be a putrid mother who does not listen to her child and puts her own needs before theirs? I would want my child to feel safe and loved and held... Do I want to be a 'yummy mummy?' Well, I certainly don't want to be a repulsive mummy. I want to be yummy to the people who I have a an interest in finding me yummy, sure.'' [Entertainmentwise]
